SCOTT VALLEY – On March 3, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) began an investigation into possible human remains found in the Scott Valley area in the vicinity of North Kidder Creek Road, stated a press release issued by the SCSO.

An evidence search of the area was conducted on March 5 by SCSO detectives, Siskiyou County Search and Rescue (SAR) and California Rescue Dog Association (CARDA). The bones will be sent to an outside anthropology lab for further analysis.
